<p>"As publishers start to adopt Mac OS X as the de facto standard in<br />
publishing, we are right there, providing for all their font management<br />
needs," says Brian Berson, president and founder of DiamondSoft. "With the<br />
introduction of our Mac OS X server product last year, and now with the Mac<br />
OS X client, we address all the challenges and opportunities of using fonts<br />
in this new publishing environment."</p>
<p>What's New in Font Reserve Server</p>
<p>Lauded with a Macworld Eddy upon its initial release, Font Reserve Server<br />
has for two years now combined its administrative controls over users,<br />
workgroups and permissions with the power of its unique font database. This<br />
update boasts a clean, sleek, new client interface to ensure that the user<br />
experience is seamless and intuitive. In addition, improved server<br />
architecture provides the processing power at the enterprise level to jump<br />
start speed, improve concurrency and deliver better throughput.</p>
<p>Enhancements in version 1.6 are targeted to improving administrative<br />
controls and easing users' workflows while maintaining a flexible,<br />
customizable system. New features include the ability to:</p>
<p>*Manage fonts in Mac OS X with the revamped Font Reserve Client<br />
application. The client now supports Mac OS X v10.2 (Jaguar) along with Mac<br />
OS 9.1 and 9.2.</p>
<p>*Activate fonts simultaneously for both Mac OS X and Classic applications<br />
via the Classic Activator to maintain your publishing workflow.</p>
<p>*Activate fonts automatically as documents are opened in most Mac OS X<br />
applications. Updated Font Sense plug-ins for high-end publishing<br />
applications - including Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator and QuarkXPress<br />
- continue to guarantee absolute font fidelity.</p>
<p>*Specify the fonts allowed in users' System Fonts folders to prevent<br />
confusion and font conflicts. This no-risk feature knows which fonts are<br />
required by Mac OS X, Mac OS 9 and Classic, so the administrator is never<br />
in danger of moving necessary fonts.</p>
<p>*Set user permissions to specify how each user's system fonts are handled.<br />
This allows users with special needs to use additional system fonts while<br />
preventing other users from using incorrect fonts.</p>
<p>* Allow the administrator to specify font sets that automatically and<br />
permanently activate when users connect. The administrator can keep certain<br />
fonts active on client systems without any action or interference from the<br />
users.</p>
<p>*Use fonts in OpenType, Windows TrueType and Apple dfont formats in<br />
addition to all the standard Macintosh font formats.</p>
<p>*AppleScript the connection process in addition to all other features of<br />
the client and server applications.</p>
<p>True Client-Server Features</p>
<p>An outgrowth of DiamondSoft's groundbreaking flagship product, Font Reserve<br />
Single User, Font Reserve Server is the only true client-server font<br />
manager on the market. The product works by consolidating all the fonts in<br />
the company into a database and providing users with access via the local<br />
network or the Internet. Significant features include:</p>
<p>*Users and Workgroups: To control font access, an administrator divides<br />
fonts into workgroups for specific positions or projects, then assigns<br />
users to the workgroups. Work-group permissions control whether users can<br />
add, delete or activate fonts. User permissions control font management<br />
activities such as sharing font sets with a workgroup.</p>
<p>*Database Integrity: As with single-user Font Reserve, the database<br />
provides a clean, hierarchical structure for font files, prevents font<br />
corruption and collects font information such as type, version and foundry<br />
to help differentiate multiple versions of the same font.</p>
<p>*License Tracking: To prevent unlicensed fonts from slipping into a<br />
workflow, administrators can tag fonts with license information. Color<br />
coding makes unlicensed fonts immediately apparent. To ensure compliance<br />
with font licenses, administrators can set up workgroups that restrict font<br />
access.</p>
<p>*Keywords: Users can tag incoming fonts with keywords to track fonts by<br />
customer, job and more. This indispensable searching and sorting<br />
information makes it clear where a font came from and why you have it.</p>
<p>*Universal Access: Administrate the system from any client application<br />
anywhere at anytime. Live updates offer users continuous access to new<br />
fonts and changes in permissions, guaranteeing that users are always<br />
accessing the correct fonts.</p>
<p>*Feature-Rich Client: The intuitive client application makes it easy for<br />
users to find, preview, create sets, activate and sort fonts any way they<br />
want. The wealth of information collected by Font Reserve Server provides<br />
insight into a font's version, class, foundry and more. In addition, the<br />
built-in Character Map and Key Caps features provide instant access to<br />
special characters within fonts.</p>
<p>*Platforms: The database runs on Mac OS X or Windows and communicates with<br />
Mac-based clients over TCP/IP. Platforms for the server include Mac OS X<br />
version 10.2, Windows 2000 and Windows NT; platforms for the client include<br />
Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X v10.2. A Windows client for Font Reserve Server is<br />
currently in development.</p>
<p>Who's Using Font Reserve Server</p>
<p>Font Reserve Server users include major publishers, advertising agencies,<br />
educational institutions and retailers. As publishers consider the time and<br />
expense involved in managing fonts for a workgroup, they are increasingly<br />
embracing the solution provided by Font Reserve Server.</p>
